Its first 2.4-mile-long segment opened for service in 2002 while a 0.3-mile-long extension opened for service in December 2010. Using FDOT funding, the City is undertaking its InVision: Tampa Streetcar Project, consisting of feasibility and concept development for expansion and modernization of the current system. In October 2018 HART introduced three years of free fares and expanded service also made possible through an FDOT grant, which provides the groundwork for the system to grow in advance of the City’s expansion and modernization plans.
